Publisher's Summary

Happily married for over a year and more in love than ever, Darcy and Elizabeth can’t imagine anything interrupting their bliss-filled days. Then an intense snowstorm strands a group of travelers at Pemberley, and terrifying accidents and mysterious deaths begin to plague the manor. Everyone seems convinced that it is the work of a phantom - a Shadow Man who is haunting the Darcy family’s grand estate.Darcy and Elizabeth believe the truth is much more menacing and that someone is trying to murder them. But Pemberley is filled with family guests as well as the unexpected travelers - any one of whom could be the culprit - so unraveling the mystery of the murderer’s identity forces the newlyweds to trust each other’s strengths and work together.Written in the style of the era and including Austen’s romantic playfulness and sardonic humor, this suspense-packed sequel to Pride and Prejudice recasts Darcy and Elizabeth as a husband-and-wife detective team who must solve the mystery at Pemberley and catch the murderer before it’s too late.

Great story! Annoying narrator.

The story was fantastic in itself but the narrator was very distracting. Charachter impersonations were a real struggle for her and it showed. I particularly disliked that she added a pronounced lisp to more than one of them.

The Phantom of Pemberley

Another tale in the lives of Darcy and Elizabeth, this time with the now deranged Mr Wickham taking revenge. The story itself was enjoyable...read like an Agetha Christie novel set in the Recency period. My only criticism is the endless (and in my opinion) needless reference to Darcy and Elizabeth's sexual doings....one good scene would have been enough for the purposes of the story. However, enjoyable.....I'm sure Miss Austen would approve 😁

The book

The story line was OK. Unfortunately the reader gave the characters strange accents. Georgiana had adenoidal problems, Darcy spoke n jerks. Us was spoken like UZZ, and new or knew was noo! Hardly from the 19 th century. The narrative was very jerky and hard to,listen to. As for the story the romantic bits seemed added and out of context with the rest of the book. A lot of repetition, it could have been so very much better.
